Ishikawa Shigyo Original Hand-Dyed Mino Washi Series is a Hit!
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
We take pride in our Mino Washi, created from expertise built since 1902.
A big hit at our direct store!
We keep adding new patterns to our Mino Washi Yuzen-dyed paper series♪
Customers say:
“Beautiful!”, “Luxurious!”, “Great color, texture, and thickness!”
Uses vary widely:
Book covers, small boxes, accessories, folding screens, backgrounds, crafts, etc.
We use Mino Washi, which boasts a 1,300-year history, and carefully hand-dye it in Kyoto, color by color, with yuzen patterns.
The beauty of yuzen washi lies in its vividness and intricate patterns, unachievable in fabric.
Skilled artisans create stencils for each color, mix dyes, and hand-print them.
This level of craftsmanship, from papermaking to dyeing, is a masterpiece of traditional art.
Lightweight, thin, and durable.
With a vast variety of patterns, it’s perfect for gifts, hobby projects, displays, and interior décor.
Order from 1 sheet upward. Just let us know the pattern number you want.
We can even produce custom patterns.

A Word from the Editor – Sato’s Corner
Thank you for your continued support.
This month, I (Sato) experienced “rouryu” for the first time.
Recently, I went to a Ganban’yoku (stone sauna) with my family.
It’s my second time in a few years. I was clueless at first!
“Where do I sit? Can I lie down?? Just need a towel???” My heart was racing—was it the warm environment or just anxiety?
Suddenly, an announcement: “Rouryu is starting!”
“Rouryu? Is that the hot steam thing? Why is everyone wearing hats???”
I was sweating—steam or nerves, who knows.
Once it started, it was amazing.
The aroma, the hot gusts expertly guided by the ‘heat wave master’ and their lively talk eased my tension and fears.
Everyone in the room joined in clapping to the rhythm of the fanning, ending with applause—a sense of unity.
Those hats (sauna hats) were worn by real pros.
My mind and body felt warm to the core—truly wonderful.
Next time, I’ll pretend to be a veteran.
In this newsletter, we present our monthly bestseller information from Ishikawa Shigyo’s direct store.
You can even use it as an order form. Take advantage and receive “Zodiac Paper Soap (50 sheets)!”
